Last October, for the first time in the calendar of surveillance and control campaigns established by the General Directorate of Traffic, the agents of the Traffic Group of the Guardia Civil carried out one dedicated to works on interurban roads .
In the week of 24 to 30 October, 140,711 vehicles were checked, of which 4,679 were penalized for various reasons. The main cause of the fine corresponds to speeding on the track sections, an offense committed by 73% of penalized drivers.
In addition, of the 4,727 sanctions filed, 242 correspond to the lack of respect for signs, whether by traffic enforcers, construction workers, vertical signs, road markings, traffic lights, cones or beacons or any other type of signage. The campaign also penalized 153 drivers who used their mobile phones on those parts of the works and 140 who did not wear seatbelts. In addition, 53 were fined for driving under the influence of alcohol and 11 for the presence of drugs in the body.
Also worrying are the 34 fines for negligent driving, the 30 for not respecting the safety distance, the 24 for illegal overtaking in those areas or the 22 for equally illegal lane changes.
